happy thursday-giveaway time!


this week is flying by...

maybe because it's been all sunshine and
good news and planning for the wedding saturday
and getting a call to do another wedding in august...
so excited...

have been working on this "pretty little teacup" series
and am liking how they are turning out...
and yet, at the same time, my mind is churning
"what next, what next?"

does that happen to everyone?

in honor of thursdays and sunshine and good news
and karma and just starting to bloom lilacs,
i am having a giveaway...

happy thursday
:O)

new items in the shop...



i have been stuck on pink lately...and hearts
and love and faltering and missteps and wonder...
maybe because my 13 has her first boy
and i'm happy that she is happy but scared
for the first broken heart...
{and not to mention worried about other things
that come with the territory of teen-love}

so a painting and a card...
new in the shop...

fast cars...





the last couple of days have been a blur
of editing photos of fast cars
and motorcycles and snowmobiles...
and then resizing them all to fit on my website
{which in hindsight, i should have done
as i was taking them}

worried about photographing the wedding
this weekend, wishing i had an external flash...
wishing i had a wide angle lens...
wishing, wishing and wishing
along with the worrying.

sent out a proposal today to a company
that advertises local festivals and events...
have never proposed for anything before...
scared and nervous and wondering if i charged
too much or did i charge too little...

and yet...
loving it all.
